Need For Speed Carbon

It's got the zoom zoom

Unusual choice of music. Looked very mediocre.

Night racing only? I hate it already. Instead of coming up with NFS MW-2, it looks like NFS Underground 3. Yuck.

Intitial D?

"Unusual choice of music"

It's probably set in Japan - Would coincide with the monstrosity that is going to be The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

You dont know if it is night race only they could use it for the trailer

Yup, Initial D.

Hehe, its reather too early to be suggesting its night racing only. Trailers are just adverts, so they put in the cool bits. Racing at night looks cool, even if gameplay wise it might not be so much fun.

They seemed to be going for the drift method of cornering, which didn't really work in NFS:MW. Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. It certainly changes the mechanic and tends to only work on winding tracks rather than the streets and alleyways seen in NFS:MW.

Someone turn on the lights!!

Honestly, I thought they'd learned the lesson of not having the whole frickin' game in the dark with NFS MW - now we're back to the dark again.

What Talha said - I hate it already. But I'll still probably end up buying it :)

"It's probably set in Japan"

...but...

"What little we do know so far is the latest NFS title gets its name from Carbon Canyon in California, said to be something of a hotspot for petrolheads."

wow, headlights :-o

What is that music? House of flying daggers?

Working Headlights!

Reminds me of some PS1 games... that feature seems to have skipped a generation.

I thought it was a refreshing choice of music, after suffering through ages of bad indie rock and hip-hop. I'm no fan of night-driving either though.

Screenshots are night only aswell. Does give the impression they are going back to the darkness.

looked exactly the same as the last..

MW-2? That would of been a really dumb move. It was called MW because of the blacklist 15 and the police that where reintroduced to the NFS series. Underground 1 - 2 was called 'Underground' because it was about undergound street racing.

As for night racing, I'm kinda getting tired of racing at night. If they would switch it up, or make the time and weather shift (like in GTA), that would be cool. Even time in the game would be a nice change, cause we havn't seen much of it lately (the red/purple sky aswell as rain in U2 was kinda sad, but sunset in MW was alright).

Anways, I'm looking forward to this whole thing abount building a crew (simular to Juiced). Same thing with drifting.

this is heavily inspired by battlestar galactica. not just the soundtrack, but the way the sound effects are omitted and the camera is kinda shaky-nervous. just imagine the whole scene with vipers in space and you get what I mean.

I think EA must have got a sneaky peek at the latest Fast and Furious movie before putting this trailer together.

Night Race - Check
Twisty Mountain Road - Check
Koto Drummer influenced Soundtrack - Check
American Muscle vs Japanese Performance - Check

Having played through MW, the thing I wanted the most was a movie after evry blacklist race showing the loser handing over them keys.

"... hotly pursued instalment..."

Heh heh... That was a slick move, there. Anyway, as for racing at night, I don't mind it, as long as the roads don't look like they're covered in baby oil, like they did in NFS:U. The headlights might be a nice touch. Also, the soundtrack is a lot better than the heavy rock / hip-hop score in the last fifty games.

Still no sign of neons then :(

my god who ever is makin this game need to stop puttin stupid muscle car in f******* driftin game......ya knoe muscle car cant drift man........like The Fast and The Furious tokyo drift man that is sooooo fake and u knoe thats true.......and puttin an import motor in a muscle car that is like soooo freakin stupid..........and ya knoe import can kill muscle car any day...... its too heavy to freakin drift.......i bet this game is goin to be stupid cuz of all the muscle car diftin.....yea yea yea.....i knoe this is a long comment but its only the true....

Your lack of knowlage about drifting amazes me. To think you didn't know that Rhys Millen, a Pontiac GTO driver, made it to and took two wins at 2004 season finale at the Irwindale Speedway, and the 2005 season opener at the Wall Speedway in Wall Township, New Jersey... And the Ford Mustang makes a very good drifting car when tuned with some parts from Cobra, Saleen and SVT. Some Japanese drivers like Ken Gushi are even using them.

American cars might not be able to do drifts as fast as say Japanese car, but because they weight more than can drift longer and you don't need to left off the gas as much.

Also, Muscle v.s Tuner arguments are retarted, its never on fair terms. Its always someone saying "Corvette V.S. Civic" or "Skyline R34 v.s. '94 Ford Mustang", its always and unfair fight. The Corvette and Skyline are abviously superior to there copetition.

Is that a Mitsu Evo drifting? I thought that thing was loaded with electronics to prevent it going sideways in corners. Oh, and this trailer is so rediculously inspired by a certain upcoming retarded ricer movie, I've lost all hope for this game.

yea yea i knoe that the Pontiac GTO won to 2 time in 2004 season....hello that only 2 not that i sayin that the driver is not good but all im sayin is Muscle could not drift.......and yea i have seen a civic beat an Corvette before.... just by an 1/2 of car lane but hey that an civic to and corvette......corvette is way faster stock and the Corvette come in like 200 something Hp already.......so civic beattin an Corvette that a big deal and it way a street drag race tooo....... so.....not say that Muscle car s uck that sayin that it not for driftin........

The new GTO is only 2, maybe 3 years old and production has been canceled. Its not like the car was out long enough for anyone to say "Hey, this things pretty good car."

And no car is made for drifting, period. Some are made for racing in general, but not for drifting. Your one sided opinion is based only on the fact that drifting started in Japan. The only real difference between and Japanese car and an American car in the long run is that American cars are FAT! They parts use to make them, plus the engine, is much heavier. Also American manufactuers love the big V8, which is hardly used in Japan, which prefers a 4 cylinder.

yea knoe wat u talkin bout but......i just sayin that American car are to heavy for driftin......n have u see the fast and the..............tokyo drift......when they put the S15 motor in a American car and drift wit it that is stupid..........n yea not say that American car suc k or anything.......yea American car have big motor that it u knoe if they have a small motor like the honda civic then i think it would be a better race....but most people all ways say civic suc k just cause of the small motor but if the civic have a V8 motor too then it would be way faster cuz of the light bidy....u kone......n i see civic that beat a V8 B4 in front of my eyes so u cant say all V4 suc k.......

American sport cars where never really made to handle corners too well (maybe not in the case of the Corvette, which has very good handling), so of course they wouldn't be too popular in drifting. America is more into straight line drag racing, and this goes back to the 1940's after the war. But the point is, even though they where never made to, American cars can drift =).

You know, that Mustang with the RB26DET (Skyline engine) was pretty much just for show. All that drifting was done with a Windsor V8 version of the car, just so everyone wouldn't get pissed at the whole half Japanese muscle car lol. I read this in a hot rod mag a few weeks back.

And I don't think cars with 4 cylinders suck. Thats whats powering cars like the Lancer Evolution and WRX STi (flat 4). But a V8 front wheel wouldn't be a good idea. The car would lose some of its handling ability, plus, you couldn't push the car over 300HP without having problems like torque/understeer, especially if the car is boosted with a turbo/supercharger.
